[QUOTE="Auzer, post: 169692, member: 17400"] Yes , as I said , the "key" of Punjabi language's progress is held by [U][B]PAKISTANIS[/B][/U] , as they are they [U][B]largest[/B][/U] and [U][B]most diverse[/B][/U] Punjabi speaker community on the face of the Earth. And I can relate to what you are saying.... I remember that P@ki kids in my highschool were always more PROUD of themselves as compared with Indians. They would talk and we'd ask "What language are you speaking?" ..and someone will tell "Its Urdu" ..and we'd be like.. "WHAT?!" ( Highschool kids couldn't even pronounce the word 'Urdu' correctly lol) ... and when someone would say "You mean Punjabi or Hindi"...Pakistani kids would [U][I]categorically [/I][/U]say.. "NO! its URDU! Its same like Hindi but its different. We speak URDU in Pakistan , not Hindi" ... and we'd be like "Dude , same thing..duhh" ..and Pakistanis kids would say "Whatever..you won't understand" ....hahaha..fun days..but I did find Pakistanis to be MORE proud on their culture and identity...Indians would wear all the local Indian clothes on cultural days and look all dandy "INDIANS" etc..but unlike Pakistanis , they weren't really 'proud' on themselves...They tried harder to "assimilate" , I guess.... [SIZE=4][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]@ Gyani Ji [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]Damn .. a long but very enlightening post. Thanks! And thanks for sharing the website... I guess Shahmukhi script is the one that looks similar to 'Arabic Script' too...When you go to the APNA website..the script on the right-hand is used in Pakistan..right? Arabic gives similar looks , so I can see why Pakistanis would chose Shahmukhi script... It is sad that Punjabi went the way of "Islamic Language" , "Sikh Language" etc etc...Languages are SECULAR!

What is the situation in Pakistani Punjab? I mean , how frequently do people speak Punjabi there? Are youth "embarrassed" to speak Punjabi over there? I think that Pakistanis speak Punjabi without feeling any embarrassment but they 'prefer' speaking Urdu..as they are taught in Urdu at their schools... Any Pakistani can help further. Peace! Plus : I have danced on Punjabi Music too :D ... There is a special dance Indian/Pakistanis do...with hands up in the air...I forgot the name :/ ...
